LSU vs. Clemson Week 1 Clash: Uncover the Shocking Underdog Pick and Must-Know Odds!
Meanwhile, the defense is replacing a lot. Peter Woods and TJ Parker are both off to the NFL, putting a lot of pressure on Will Heldt. Heldt is primarily a pass rusher, having 7.5 sacks last season. Meanwhile, the secondary needs Ashton Hampton to step up and be the top corner with Avieon Terrell now in the NFL. It is a defense that has depth and brings in solid transfers, but if they let LSU get into a rhythm, it could get ugly.
For LSU, it starts with Sam Leavitt. Leavitt has faced pressure before in his career, leading Arizona State to the College Football Playoffs. Still, he played just seven games last year before going out with an injury, and has a roughly 3:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. With the Clemson pass rush being relentless, Leavitt needs to get comfortable quickly. Further, LSU needs to be efficient on early downs. On offense, the team moved the ball well on first and second down, leading to shorter third-down conversions.
